An icon in focus: the Porsche 911
Sports car and classic car season: in our “Car of the Month” series we regularly take a close look at a vehicle and at how to insure it properly. This time it is a classic that has been setting the standard for over sixty years – and one that sits in Swiss garages both as a modern performer and as a well-kept collector's item.

Why it had to be the 911
Because it can do both – the racetrack on Sunday and the shopping run on Monday.
- On the road since 1963 — the 911 continues to set the standard
- Uncompromising sports car performance that still works for everyday driving
- A timeless classic that holds its value across generations
- From the latest model to an air-cooled collector’s car
What a 911 costs in premiums
One figure to put things in perspective – and the reason why we still calculate for you instead of guessing.
In its sample calculation for a Porsche 911 Carrera, the insurer Simpego assumes an annual fully comprehensive premium of CHF 1'527.70. That is the company's sample calculation and not a quote for you.
Your premium depends on the model and year of construction, on where you live, on the mileage you drive, on the age of the drivers, on the retention and on the cover you choose. It can therefore be considerably lower or higher. We obtain the quotes from the companies we work with and lay them side by side for you – before you sign anything at all.
| Comparison in the example | CHF |
|---|---|
| Simpego | 1’527.70 |
| Lowest-priced competitor in the example | 1’584.10 |
| Market average in the example | 1’894.30 |

From performer to collector's item
Not every 911 is new. A well-kept classic needs a different policy from an everyday car.
Anyone driving an air-cooled collector's item has other worries than mileage: the value rises instead of falling, and ordinary comprehensive cover reflects that poorly. Simpego's classic car insurance can be taken out entirely online and is tailored to exactly this situation:
- Increases in value included — up to 20% higher market value is automatically covered
- Self-service vehicle valuation, completed directly by you without the paperwork
- Completed entirely online, with no waiting for forms
- Tailored cover instead of a standard package
